[Adopted 3-7-1977 as Sec. 3-1 of the 1976 Revised
General Ordinances]
[Amended 7-5-2006 by Ord. No. 3-2006]
For violation of any provision of this chapter, any other chapter of
this revision, or any other ordinance of the Borough where no specific penalty
is provided regarding the section violated, the maximum penalty, upon conviction,
shall be a fine not exceeding $1,250, or imprisonment for a period not exceeding
90 days, or both (N.J.S.A. 40:49-5).
Except as otherwise provided, every day in which a violation of any
provision of this chapter or any other ordinance of the Borough exists shall
constitute a separate violation.
The maximum penalty stated in this article is not intended to state
an appropriate penalty for every violation. Any lesser penalty, including
a nominal penalty or no penalty at all, may be appropriate for a particular
case or violation.
The Borough Council may prescribe that, for the violation of any particular
Code provision or ordinance, at least a minimum penalty shall be imposed which
shall consist of a fine which may be fixed at an amount not exceeding $100
(N.J.S.A. 40:49-5).
